green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

I wish I was better at art... grrargh.

alternately: Darth Deinonychus. yesssssssssss

dear whoever got me as a secret sneepsnop giver: I'm sorry about all this. :/

but hey, now you know--find/draw me a good picture of an anodized titanium-feathered deinonychus kill-bot with glowing green eyes, and you'll have my eternal gratitude.

*goes in search of such a picture or possibly somebody to commission it from*

@Jacel I'm reeeeally not sure why I'm getting this blazing urge to spite-read the damn thing, or why I'm getting so angry about it in general. there's probably something else going on here but I don't know what. I should probably distract myself with shiny anodized titanium deinonychus thoughts...

@Azure it's got anodized titanium feathers, for a lovely rainbow sheen lightly spattered with blood and gore. :D and glowing bright green eyes.

(or more accurately ripping people apart with cybernetically-enhanced deinonychuses; same effect, different delivery mechanism)

sorry folks I've gone over to the Dark Side today. it's all rage, hate, and killing people with lightsabers in here now.

so now Spouse (who has listened to a chapter and a half of the audiobook of RPO) is being dismissive of me listening to this podcast instead of "reading it first-hand." ALL FUCKING RIGHT THEN. >:| saddle up, folks...

@anthracite ..... oh. that.

@anthracite I would throw SO MUCH MONEY into that pot.

@Leucrotta @kara@occult.camp ooh yeah, the musical number where they dance on tables right after that was *fantastic*! I have to admit I questioned a bit why Rey's starfighter looked like a DeLorean, but it *really worked*.

ANYWAY. uuuuugh okay now I understand why people hate Ready Player One. unfortunately Spielberg will almost certainly produce a perfectly palatable Extruded Media Product out of this material and everybody involved will make a lot of money. UUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH

and evidently that's it. this is a fantasy world created so that rote memorization of geek-popular properties will win you ACTUAL SOCIAL STATUS AND MONEY. and I just. I'm starting to *really hate* this whole concept.

for a while I had a housemate (this is part of why these memories are so fucking cringingly terrible) who continued to believe this well into his forties, but unfortunately he kept GETTING THE LINES WRONG. like "look how awesome I am, I can quote demi-relevant chunks from MPatHG!" and I'm gritting my teeth "NO YOU HAVE GOTTEN THAT DIALOGUE WRONG IN FACT, SHUT UP SHUT UP I HATE YOU"

I am *frankly shocked* that Monty Python has not come up at all, or at least they haven't mentioned it, because I KNEW PEOPLE (multiple people) who thought the fucking ~height of social discourse and wit~ was *equivalent* to being able to quote large chunks of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (for some reason "Life of Brian" and "Meaning of Life" were never as popular).

they got to the part where the MC has to... quote the entirety of War Games, and the value that's attributed to this, and they make the aside that "hey remember in grade school, how you could be the *funniest kid* by being able to quote from "The Mask" or whatever the funny movie/comedian du jour was?" and I'm like YEP. YEP, THERE'S YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE.

okay, I have stayed up quite a bit past my bedtime listening to http://372pages.com/, giggling a lot, and being given some excellent reasons why "Ready Player One" is... prrrroooobably not going to be "my thing," TO PUT IT VERY, VERY MILDLY.

it is now time for me to sleep dammit! so awrrroooo my dears, dream well and wake to a better day. <3

@Azure @Angle@witches.town I have not!
